WelcomeDear STEM change agents,

As Assistant Director of the Directorate for Education and Human Resources at the National Science Foundation, I am pleased to welcome each of you to the first NSF ADVANCE Resource Coordination Network’s Community Convening on Equity in STEM and the joint summit with the NSF I-Corps program that follows. The 2019 Equity in STEM Community Convening promises to be an exciting meeting that brings the NSF ADVANCE community and others interested in equity in STEM together to share and learn from each other.

As we approach the 20th anniversary of the NSF ADVANCE program’s start in 2001, this meeting is a great way to celebrate the past and current ADVANCE grantee contributions to promoting gender equity for STEM faculty. This also provides an opportunity to look toward the future and envision our universities as models for STEM equity.

I am happy to see the collaboration between ADVANCE and NSF I-Corps at this meeting and encourage everyone to consider participating in the NSF I-Corps opportunities at your institutions or in your region – especially for those interested in sharing ADVANCE generated tools, materials, and knowledge. This I-Corps collaboration is a great complement to the partnerships encouraged between ADVANCE and NSF INCLUDES (Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science) in the most recent ADVANCE call for proposals. NSF INCLUDES is an NSF-wide initiative to increase the preparation, participation, advancement, and potential contributions of those who have been traditionally underserved or underrepresented in STEM education, and in the STEM workforce.

NSF views broadening participation in science and engineering as a national challenge that requires national solutions such as those developed by the grantees of NSF programs like ADVANCE, I-Corps, and INCLUDES. At NSF, we believe that greater inclusion in STEM results in richer, stronger, more innovative science. Thank you all for your commitment to equity in STEM and improving STEM research and STEM education outcomes for all Americans.

Sincerely,

Karen MarrongelleAssistant Director, Directorate for Education and Human ResourcesNational Science Foundation

The Equity in STEM Community ConveningThe ARC Network’s 2019 Equity in STEM Community Convening serves as a meeting space for researchers, practitioners, and change agents dedicated to creating equitable STEM workplaces. Attendees will have an opportunity to share new research findings and exchange resources; brainstorm strategies and collaborate in novel ways; and demonstrate effective programs and interventions for greater collective impact. Through this shared purpose we will have the interactive capacity to finally see #EquityinSTEM.

The ARC Network

Funded by the National Science Foundation ADVANCE Program, Award HRD-1740860, the ADVANCE Resource and Coordination (ARC) Network seeks to achieve gender equity for faculty in higher education science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. As the STEM equity brain trust, the ARC Network recognizes the achievements made so far while producing new perspectives, methods and interventions with an intersectional, intentional and inclusive lens. The leading advocate for women in STEM the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) serves as the backbone organization of the ARC Network.

Allison Mattheis, PhD Associate Professor, California State University Los Angeles

Focus Area: An integrative intersectional meta-analysis of understandings of gender in STEM higher education research

Dr. Mattheis will conduct an integrative meta-synthesis of the ways that gender is defined as a variable or identity characteristic in extant research on gender in STEM instruction and mentorship in higher education, how it is considered in combination with other social identities and what interventions are most commonly proposed to address issues of underrepresentation. By analyzing research published since 2010 in approximately 30 relevant journals and employing different disciplinary and epistemological perspectives, promising exemplars will be identified and a set of guidelines informed by intersectionality will be developed to guide future research.

Beth Mitchneck, PhD Professor Emerita, University of Arizona

Focus Area: Synthesizing research on gender biases and intersectionality citation analysis and practices

Citation analysis tools count the number of citations a research paper or author receives and serve as a proxy for research impact. Since research has shown the ways individuals choose what and who to cite are influenced by factors unrelated to the quality of the research, it is time to assess the efficacy of analysis tools. Dr. Mitchneck will conduct a meta-synthesis of the literature on citation analysis and social influences over citation practices to document effects of gender and intersectionality. Indices reinforce barriers to advancement for scholars from underrepresented groups; publicizing inequities is the first step to addressing them.

Virtual Visiting ScholarsThe ARC Network hosts Virtual Visiting Scholars to synthesize existing gender equity research and datasets to produce different methods and interventions. Funded by the NSF ADVANCE Program (award number HRD-1740860), the ARC Network strives to achieve STEM equity in academia by 2025. Virtual Visiting Scholars determine the overall effectiveness and applicability of inter-ventions and grants institutions, organizations and disciplines access to research. The ARC Network is proud to introduce the 2019 Virtual Visiting Scholars and the results of the meta-analysis conducted by the 2018 scholars.

Focus Area: Academic entrepreneurship in STEM: A meta-synthesis on the intersection of gender

A sequence of institution-building acts in the United States 1930-1980 set an infrastructure to facilitate the partnership of university faculty with government and private industry for the purpose of science invention and subsequent commercialization. Today, academic entrepreneurship is increasingly the heart of science invention with entire industries like the Internet and biotechnology rooted in faculty accomplishment. Rising demand since the 1960s for STEM gender equity intersects and complicates this institutional success story. This meta-synthesis compiles research from multiple fields to present the state of knowledge on women and gender, with an intersectionality concern, as regards faculty participation in academic entrepreneurship.

Focus Area: Centering women faculty of color in a meta-synthesis of research on mentoringFrames are used in the front-end of a paper to situate the study within a larger body of literature. All of the studies use frames regarding the barriers and challenges facing women of color faculty. The most common challenges discussed in framing were isolation, underrepresentation, and discrimination and bias. While these references to underrepresentation framed it as a chal-lenge, some studies also employed underrepresentation in more nuanced and conflicting ways throughout the front-end of their papers. Others argued that mentoring was needed to overcome underrepresentation; and another also argued that systemic change is needed to improve representation.

All of the studies presented findings affirming the value of mentoring for women of color faculty. The most common benefits of mentoring were navigational capital and problem-solving or advice. One of the studies also presented evidence that mentoring can lead to systemic change; in the data supporting this claim, one of the study participants described how she raised awareness of issues to folks in senior positions by mentoring up. The articles presented a range of findings regarding who is the ideal mentor and the characteristics of successful mentoring relation-ships: receiving mentoring from White faculty members and from others who shared their race, gender or both.

Ethel Mickey, PhDVisiting Lecturer in Sociology, Wellesley College

Focus Area: Implications for career success resulting from STEM faculty networksSocial networks represent a form of social capital – a resource for individuals to locate opportunities, acquire information and skills, and gain support and legitimacy. Despite the theorized benefits of social capital, there is ever-increasing evidence that marginalization and exclusion from networks may, in part, contribute to the underrepresentation of women and minori-ties in STEM. The current state of knowledge on gender and networks in STEM focuses on gender differences in network characteristics, and the implications of these differences for academic careers. The latter research describes network exclusion as part of the discriminatory practices contrib-uting to the “chilly climate” for women and people of color in STEM.

The meta-analysis I conducted as a Virtual Visiting Scholar in 2018 identifies structural barriers to inclusion in social networks. Findings reveal that networks provide a variety of key resources; indeed, some argue that networks are crucial for success in academic careers. Networking provides social capital: jobs and job information, collaboration and networking, visibility and prestige, industry connections, financial resources, advice, friendship, and exchanging ideas. However, I also find that women – and especially women of color – remain marginalized in faculty networks despite institutional efforts surrounding diversity and inclusion. I suggest that the more complicated and important question centers on how men and women’s networks differ and focuses on solutions to alleviate or resolve this exclusion.

Ways faculty networks are gendered to disadvantage women in STEM:1. Women scientists have smaller networks than their male counterparts. 2. Women STEM faculty also tend to be more disconnected from the most central actors in research networks.3. Men and women scientists tend to have homophilous networks, but for women, their gender-homophilous networks are nega-

tively associated with organizational status, and thus provide them with lesser quality information and resources. From an intersectional perspective, there is less research looking at race and faculty networks in STEM, but a handful of important studies examines how race and gender intersect to shape faculty experiences. Women of color faculty tend to be the most marginal-ized group in academia, facing isolation and exclusion from network opportunities afforded to their white and male counterparts.

Some research suggests that black women rely on gender and racially-homophilous networks for career support. Black women faculty are most likely to maintain strong relationships with advisors and mentors from their former campuses, and they tend to network with other black women faculty through professional associations for both personal and research support. These studies signal the importance of looking within-gender groups, and future research should center the experience of women of color faculty in STEM. =
